After a while, I saw Zhining come to report and said, "Miss, the eldest lady and several other sisters are here, and the slave maid said that Miss is taking a nap, but it's ......."

Zou Yichen lifted the quilt and got up, and said, "It's not that it's only in the afternoon, how can this time come." ”

Zi Nan said, "Isn't it? We obviously said in the morning that it was afternoon, and when they came at this time, we hadn't prepared refreshments yet, and if they knew, they would naturally blame us for not being well prepared. ”

Zou Yichen was woken up by Zinan's words, and hurriedly said: "You go to see them first, just say that I am freshening up, let them wait first, remember to speak softer." Then go and prepare refreshments right away, don't panic, remember. ”

"Yes." Zi Nan said and walked out quickly.

After a while, the noisy sound outside the window became quieter, Zou Yichen walked to the embroidery pier and sat down, and said to Zhining, who still had a bitter face behind his head: "Comb my hair in a simple bun, and I'll go out to see you." ”

Zhining combed her hair in a bun and said, "Miss, every time the eldest lady comes to us, why do I feel uneasy." ”

Zou Yichen said: "Yes, how could she come to me if she was fine?" ”

Zhining said: "Mo Fei, what does she know? ”

Zou Yichen's face changed greatly, and he said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be." ”

Zhining said: "Miss, it's better to be careful." The eldest lady is here for something. ”

"Well, too. She was fine, how could she come to me. I haven't heard from her for a long time......" After a while, he said, "After a while, you bring out the refreshments I put before from the well, put them on a plate in small portions, divide them for everyone to eat, and put the rest in the box." The ones in the box were sent to the eldest lady and the third lady. When delivering snacks, pay more attention to what everyone is doing. ”

"Well, the slave will listen to the young lady's arrangement in a while."

"By the way, call Zinan back, I'm afraid I won't do it at this time." Zou Yichen said——

Before Zou Yichen came out, he heard a commotion in the small living room.

I only heard Zou Meichen say: "Look, this shabby look, even the table is broken, I haven't found anyone to polish it, and I don't know where the money this month has been spent?" At this time, Zou Meichen was pointing with his finger, and Zou Yichen said where he had knocked it with his finger.

Zou Yichen heard it clearly outside the door, and a feeling of helplessness hit his whole body, and he breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to offend Zou Meichen, lest Zou Meichen have nothing to do and trouble herself, so she walked into the living room with Xiao and said, "Sister, why did you come so early, my sister didn't take good care of her, and she was offended." ”

Zou Meichen squinted at Zou Yichen and said, "If you want to say that this care is naturally not thoughtful, otherwise why would we stay in your small hall for so long." ”

Zou Xiangchen said: "I heard Sister Meichen say, you called us here today because you have something to say, if there is anything to say, everyone feels ...... here."

Zou Xiangchen felt that his words were inappropriate as he spoke, and his voice couldn't help lowering.

Zou Yichen grabbed the handkerchief in his right hand, his muscles flared up, and he thought: "It's good that I have nothing to invite you to come, what should I ask you to do?" It's better to sleep for a few more hours and have a good time. Besides, what's wrong with my little hall? I don't think I can tolerate you, so you can not come. These words were put in the original, Zou Yichen had already pointed at her nose and scolded, so she didn't care about the consequences.

But now, she felt that force and recklessness could not solve the essence of the problem, so she said: "Sister Xiangchen, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here." ”

Zou Xiangchen looked at Zou Yichen lightly: "Really?" ”

Zou Yichen said: "This morning, I met Meichen's sister by the pond. She said that the sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, but she thought about it tightly, so she said that she would save a game, and she thought of her sister here. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zou Meichen and added, "Sister, are you right?" ”

Zou Meichen smiled and said, "This is true. It's just that you're too ill-prepared. ”

During the banquet, Zhining happened to serve refreshments.

Zou Yichen watched the refreshments come up, and thought comfortingly: "Fortunately, let Zhining find these in time, otherwise Zinan doesn't know when to wait?" She sat down unhurriedly and said, "These honey three knives, plum blossom cake, and dragon and phoenix wedding cake are all very happy for my sisters and sisters, and this is specially made for my sisters and sisters, and I put them for a few hours to make these refreshments softer and more palatable." ”

Zou Jichen said in a thick voice: "Sister Gang Meichen also said, where are you spending your monthly money?" It turns out that you spend your monthly routine in this kind of place. ”

Zou Yichen frowned slightly.

Zou Xiangchen expected that she frowned because her twin sister didn't use an honorific title, and said, "Sister Ji, I'm used to talking like this, so please don't take it to heart." ”

Zou Jichen grabbed the dragon and phoenix cake with one hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief with the other, and said, "That's it, that's it, I'm used to it." Don't take it to heart, say that your dragon and phoenix cakes are so delicious. "Hehe" smiled, and then took another bite on the dragon and phoenix cake.

"What is delicious or not, I don't see anything unusual." Zou Meichen said contemptuously. How can she endure hardships, her parents have been pampered since she was a child, how can she know how to live as a child of a three-room wife.

Zou Yichen hurriedly played a round and said: "My sister must be happy to tighten her favorite honey three knives on weekdays, so sister will see if this honey three knives are suitable for my sister's appetite?" ”

"Well, let me see." As he spoke, he took one out of his plate and put it in his mouth.

Zou Meichen thought to herself: "I've eaten the honey three knives in the house, isn't this the taste?" How can it taste better than before? ”

Seeing that Zou Meichen didn't answer, Zou Yichen asked, "What does my sister think?" ”

Zou Meichen said with a smile: "This honey three-knife dim sum, I guess it's not from the house, right?" ”

Zou Yichen took over: "Sister said that it was funny, if this was bought outside, how could it be delivered so quickly?" My sister thinks it's delicious, so I'll go back in a while, and I'll ask Zhining to send you some more. ”

"No, no. Well...... Forehead...... I've been so busy reading poetry lately that I don't have time to taste these things. Zou Meichen looked embarrassed.

Zou Yichen also wanted to know why the eldest lady looked at Zou Meichen so closely, and said: "Oh, this sister has also heard that my sister is studying so hard, so she needs to make up for her body more, and she must not lose her body." ”
